On most machines the wire feed control also adjusts the amperage. Faster = hotter. Slower = cooler. Some machines have range settings. LOW MED HIGH you still have to adjust the wire feed in each range for your needs.

How do you size a phase converter to run a 3 phase welder?

From the nameplate on the welder you find the amperage that the welder draws at the three phase voltage that you are going to use. This amperage is used to size the phase converter. This amperage is also used to size the breaker that will feed the phase converter and wire size for the installation.


What is the recommended welder amperage for welding stainless steel?

The recommended welder amperage for welding stainless steel is typically between 50 to 90 amps, depending on the thickness of the stainless steel being welded. It is important to consult the welding machine's manual and adjust the amperage accordingly for best results.


Is 60 amp breaker good for 225 stick welder?

The 225 amps is the secondary output amperage. Look on the machines nameplate to find the input amperage. It is that amperage that is needed to size the feed wire and there the breaker size. When you find that amperage you may want to re question the breaker size.


What is the amperage rating of a gma T250L 250V fuse?

The GMA series of fuse is a fast acting glass tube fuse. The dimensions are 5 X 20 mm. This series of fuse's amperage span is from 63 mA right up to 8 amps. I would suggest that your fuse is rated at 250 mA or (1/4 of an amp) with a 250 volt rating.


Would using a 200 foot extension cord which is 6 gauge 3 wire cord on a 220 single phase welder present any problems?

Absolutely, you will have voltage drop, maybe enough voltage drop that the welder will not work <<>> To do a voltage drop calculation for the 200 foot cable the input amperage of the welder needs to be stated. At a maximum distance of 201 feet and limiting the voltage drop to 3% or less, a #6 copper conductor can deliver 37 amps on a 220 volt system. Check the nameplate on the welder to see if it falls withing the range of 37 amps input amperage. Do not use the welders output amperage.


Can you plug a 120v 20 amp wielder into a 240v 40 amp outlet?

No, it is not safe to plug a 120v 20 amp welder into a 240v 40 amp outlet. The voltage difference is too high and could damage the welder. It is important to match the voltage and amperage of the welder with the corresponding outlet.


How many amps does an arc welder draw?

Always check the nameplate on the device. It will have the serial no., how many hertz it operates at, the voltage, and amperage. Their are different types, so the amperage will differ as well.


How do you covert a two prong welder plug to a three prong and ground out let?

Need to know the amperage rating of the plug or the NEMA configuration of the plug and receptacle


Arc welder from the Will Weld welding Co.Oldest welder you have ever seen the case is made of wood with a lift top.Thumb screws for the different amperage's Have no idea what if anything it is worth.?

You might find where it was made and contact the state museum to see if they want it for display purposes.

What size wire do you need for 440 three phase welder on an eight foot run?

The wire size depends on the amperage, not the voltage. The fact that the welder runs on 440 volts does not affect the wire size! You need to ask this question instead: What size wire do you need for a three phase welder on an eight foot run if the nameplate amps are 45A?


What would the approximate amperage setting be if a welder were set to the high range(150 to350 amps) and the fine adjustment knob were pointing at 5 on a 10- points scale?

If the welder is set to the high range of 150 to 350 amps and the fine adjustment knob is positioned at 5 on a 10-point scale, you can estimate the amperage as approximately halfway between the two extremes. This would suggest an amperage around 250 amps, as 5 on the scale indicates a mid-range setting within the high range.
